Dear John

Lyrics by：Taylor Swift

Composed by：Taylor Swift

Produced by：Taylor Swift/Nathan Chapman

Long were the nights when

My days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps

Praying the floor won't fall through again

My mother accused me of losing my mind

But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky

Then go back and turn it to rain

And I lived in your chess game

But you changed the rules everyday

Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone tonight

Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why

Dear John I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

I shoulda known

Well maybe it's me

And my blind optimism to blame

Or maybe it's you and your sick need

To give love and take it away

And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors

Who don't understand

And I look back in regret how I ignored when they said

Run as fast as you can

Dear John I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

Dear John I see it all now it was wrong

Don't you think nineteen's too young

To be played by your dark twisted games

When I loved you so

I shoulda known

You are an expert at sorry

And keeping the lines blurry

Never impressed by me acing your tests

All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes

'Cause you burned them out

But I took your matches

Before fire could catch me

So don't look now

I'm shining like fireworks

Over your sad empty town yeah

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Dear John I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with

The girl in the dress

Wrote you a song you shoulda known

You shoulda known

Don't you think I was too young

You shoulda known
